Wild Buffalo Preserve
The buffalo are a part of the ancient landscape now nearly forgotten. Why this species roamed the prairies by the millions and thrived is rarely spoken of. They are an essential part of the reason the prairie did thrive. Their hoof action and constant movement kept the soil disturbed and fresh for renewal and further propagation.
The buffalo are hardy and have the ability to thrive in all types of weather. The buffalo does not have an immune system designed to live in stagnate surroundings such as corrals or feed lots. The buffalo at the Happy Heart have never been through a chute system, receive no shots and roam in large pastures with high fences to contain them.
These fences are for our peace of mind. The buffalo at any time could go wherever they wish and often have. We call this ranch a preserve because that is the goal…to preserve the buffalo and habitat necessary to allow this precious icon to live on and teach us what we have forgotten about stewardship.
